Wolverhampton charity proud and honoured to receive royal honours

It was a day for a city charity helping the most in need people across Wolverhampton to celebrate as it received the highest royal honour a charity can receive.

Secret Angels CIC were presented with the King’s Award for Voluntary Service at a presentation ceremony on April 8 in the Mayoral Suite at Wolverhampton Civic Centre at a ceremony attended by guests including the Mayor of Wolverhampton, Councillor Craig Collingswood, Lord Lieutenant of the West Midlands Derek Anderson and The King’s representative in the region, and Cadet Colour Sergeant Kieran Sandhu.

The formal presentation of the award and certificate was carried out by the Lord Lieutenant, recognising the contribution Secret Angels CIC makes to supporting vulnerable individuals and families across Wolverhampton.

Secret Angels volunteers, beneficiaries, partner organisations, Secret Ambassadors, and local dignitaries such as Wolverhampton West MP Warinder Juss and Paul Singh all coming together to celebrate this significant achievement.

Secret Angels delivered food support, cost of living assistance, digital inclusion services, befriending service and social inclusion projects to those most in need.

The organisation has supported thousands of residents across the city, providing vital help during challenging times.

Alvina Ali, Director of Secret Angels, said: "This award is a huge honour for our volunteers who give their time selflessly to support people in our community.

"Secret Angels was created to help those facing hardship, and this recognition belongs to every volunteer who has helped make a difference to someone’s life.

"The ceremony provided an opportunity to reflect on the dedication, compassion, and community spirit that define Secret Angels, and to celebrate the volunteers whose efforts have made this national recognition possible.

"The event marked a proud moment for the organisation and the wider Wolverhampton community."
